Abstract: A method includes forming a fin on a semiconductor substrate and forming recesses on sidewalls of the fin. A silicon alloy material is formed in the recesses. A thermal process is performed to define a silicon alloy fin portion from the silicon alloy material and the fin. A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a fin defined on the substrate and an isolation structure disposed adjacent the fin. A first portion of the fin extending above the isolation structure has a substantially vertical sidewall and a different material composition than a second portion of the fin not extending above the isolation structure.

Abstract: Structures for a field-effect transistor and methods of forming a structure for a field-effect transistor. A first dielectric layer is deposited over a first gate structure in a first device area and a second gate structure in a second device area, and then planarized. A second dielectric layer is deposited over the planarized first dielectric layer, and then removed from the first device area. After removing the second dielectric layer from the first device area, the first dielectric layer in the first device area is recessed to expose the first gate structure. A silicide is formed on the exposed first gate structure.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method of forming vertical field effect transistor(s) and the resulting structure. In the method, five semiconductor layers are formed in a stack by epitaxial deposition. The first and fifth layers are one semiconductor material, the second and fourth layers are another and the third layer is yet another. The stack is patterned into fin(s). Vertical surfaces of the second and fourth layers of the fin(s) are etched to form upper and lower spacer cavities and these cavities are filled with upper and lower spacers. Vertical surfaces of the third layer of the fin(s) are etched to form a gate cavity and this cavity is filled with a gate. Since epitaxial deposition is used to form the semiconductor layers, the thicknesses of these layers and thereby the heights of the spacer cavities and gate cavity and the corresponding lengths of the spacers and gate can be precisely controlled.

Abstract: Methods of forming a structure for a vertical-transport field-effect transistor. A semiconductor fin is formed over a sacrificial layer. A support structure is connected with the semiconductor fin. After forming the support structure, the sacrificial layer is removed to form a cavity extending beneath the semiconductor fin. A semiconductor material is epitaxially grown in the cavity to form a source/drain region of the vertical-transport field-effect transistor.
